2017 Hyundai Sonata Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we see recurring codes on the 2017 Hyundai Sonata that point to the most common issues: P0420 (catalyst system efficiency low), P0300(random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor faults. Left unchecked, a P0420 can indicate catalytic converter wear that may cost thousands to replace; catching it early often means replacing a sensor or repairing an exhaust leak for a fraction of that cost. Misfire codes like P0300 can lead to engine damage and reduced MPG if ignored; immediate diagnosis prevents costly internal repairs and preserves fuel economy. Lean codes hint at fuel delivery or vacuum problems that degrade performance and emissions; timely attention restores efficiency. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to provide fast, accurate estimates, transparent pricing, and guidance on long-term savings. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic to assess codes and take advantage of our available service specials. To book, schedule service online and experience dealership-grade care and warranties that protect your investment.
